What this course is

A free, self-paced specialist course on knitwear: knit structures and how they stretch, yarn and fibre choices, engineering t-shirts, polos, sweaters and seamless products, and controlling shade, shrinkage and measurements in a fabric that moves. Three modules, each ending with a five-question quiz.

Who it is for

  • • Merchandisers and technicians working on knit programmes
  • • Quality staff who measure and inspect knitted garments
  • • Product developers moving from woven to knit product
  • • Students specialising in knitted apparel

What you will be able to do

  • • Explain how a knit structure decides stretch, recovery, curling and spirality
  • • Choose yarn and fabric for a knit end use instead of copying a previous order
  • • Engineer the common knit products — tee, polo, sweater, seamless — to their own construction rules
  • • Control shrinkage, shade and measurement variation across a knit bulk
  • • Judge which knit faults are fabric faults and which are sewing faults

    4 subjects · 5-question quiz

  2. Module 2 — Knit product engineering

    Engineer the main knit product types correctly: the right seam and stitch for each position, the right trim, and the operations that decide whether the product survives wear.

    4 subjects · 5-question quiz

  3. Module 3 — Knit quality, shade and measurement control
